CHINESE SACRED LILY. 
THE CHINESE SACRED LILY 
or Oriental Narcissus. 
(Chinese Grown.) 
A varietyof Polyanthus Narcissus, bearing 
in lavish profusion, chaste flowers of silvery 
white with golden yellow cups; they are of 
exquisite beauty and entrancing perfume. 
It is grown by the Chinese according to their 
ancient custom, to herald the advent of their 
new year, and asa symbol of good luck. 
The bulbs are grown by a method known 
only to themselves, whereby they attain 
great size and vitality, ensuring luxuriant 
growth and immense spikes of flowers; in 
fact, the incredibly short time required to 
bring the bulbs into bloom (four to six weeks 
after planting, is one of the wonders of na- 
ture. ‘‘ You can almost see them grow,” 
succeeding almost everywhere and with 
everybody. They do wellin pots of earth, 
but are more novel and beautiful grown in 
shallow bowls of water, with enough fancy 
pebbles to prevent them from toppling over 
when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at 
intervals will give a succession of flowers 
through the winter. (Sve czf).
